Changing student profiles and the increasing availability of
mainstream and specialized learning technologies are stretching the
traditional face-to-face models of teaching and learning in higher
education. Institutions, too, are facing far-reaching systemic
changes which are placing strains on existing resources and
physical infrastructure and calling into question traditional ways
of teaching through lectures and tutorials.And, with an
ever-increasing scrutiny on teaching and teachers' accountability
for positive educational outcomes, the call for closer attention to
learning, teaching and, most especially, to the design and delivery
of the curriculum is given increasing relevance and importance.
Research provides strong evidence of the potential for
technologies to facilitate not only cognition and learning but also
to become integral components in the redesign of current curriculum
models.Some Universities and individual academics have moved along
this pathway, developing new and innovative curriculum, blending
pedagogies and technologies to suit their circumstances. Yet, there
are others, unsure of the possibilities, the opportunities and
constraints in these changing times."Curriculum Models for the 21st
Century" gives insights into how teaching and learning can be done
differently. The focus is on a whole of curriculum approach,
looking at theoretical models and examples of practice which
capitalize on the potential of technologies to deliver variations
and alternatives to the more traditional lecture-based model of
University teaching. "
